Guerrero identifies insect species by
distinguishing between wing characteris-

and viewing the genitalia under a
microscope.
"The specimens come from surveys
using various types of traps and
pheromones for specific non-native

Guerrero's research takes tenacity.
"It's pretty overwhelming at times,"
Guerrero said. "Every week you have
to go out to these fields and extract all

a good half of your day."
Working with traps in a real-world

Ants and raccoons raid the traps to eat
the moth specimens, and cattle turned

Packaging Science Student Gains

International Industry Knowledge

BY LAURA KUBITZ

Landing an internship or working part-
time are common ways students build
their resumes before entering the
competitive job market after graduation.
For Wesley Taylor, a packaging science
senior, industry knowledge came in the
form of a trip to Italy.
Packaging science encompasses the
research, design, innovation and business
of making sure consumer products safely
complete the journey from the factory to the
store shelf. The University of Florida is the
only school in the state of Florida to offer
this program of study.
In one of Taylor's packaging courses, Dr.
Bruce Welt, associate professor and pack-
aging science undergraduate coordinator,
presented his students with the opportunity
to submit an assignment to the Italian
Trade Commission's "Italian Packaging
Technology Awards." The 10-12 page papers
had to address an innovation in packaging
materials or in the packaging machinery
manufacturing industry.
Taylor was selected as one of eight
students throughout the U.S. and Canada
to travel to Italy for two weeks in June 2010.
Taylor and his travel companions made
their way through Rome, Rimini, Venice,
Milan, Parma, Bologna and Florence. They
sampled exquisite Italian cuisine and im-
mersed themselves in a historic and vibrant
culture, all while gaining real-world experi-
ence and international exposure to the
packaging industry.
When the group arrived in a new city,
they would set off on foot to sightsee or
have a guided tour of the historical sections

of the area. On travel
days, the group toured
packaging companies,
sometimes visiting two
companies a day.
During his free time,
Taylor took the oppor-
tunity to see the Vatican
Museum and Sistine
Chapel in Rome, the
beaches of Rimini, the
leather markets of Flor-
ence, and many famous
chapels throughout
central and northern
Italy. Wesley Taylor st
In Rimini, they had
the opportunity to attend Packology, a
packaging trade show where companies
throughout Europe have their latest and
most innovative machinery set up for
demonstration.
"We saw a great number of packaging
machines, some of which I had never even
heard of in the classroom setting," Taylor
said. "It was beneficial to see them in per-
son and have their finer details explained."
Taylor was first introduced to the world
of packaging science as a general busi-
ness major. While browsing for an area of
specialization, packaging stood out to him
because he only needed a few more classes
to fulfill the necessary requirements.
He then realized he would be better off as
a packaging science major.
Taylor's Italian experience helped him
realize how different it is to work in an
international market, not just in the

packaging industry, but across all indus-
tries. His travels taught him that respect
and attention to minute cultural differ-
ences can go a long way when working
with people from across the world. Taylor
believes he will have a different perspec-
tive than most out in the working world,
and he will be able to effectively apply this
knowledge in his career.
"Wesley is a very strong student and has
tremendous potential to make it far in the
packaging industry," Welt said.
After graduation, Taylor wants to start
out at a large company such as Procter &8
Gamble Co. or Kraft Foods to gain valuable
package engineering experience.
In the future, he hopes to open his own
package consulting firm that will work to
ensure that the products we use and con-
sume become more sustainable, efficient
and safe. 0

CALS Leadership Institute Experiences

a Sustainable Latin America

BY SARAH DELOACH AND LAURA KUBITZ

As the plane began to descend, faint
green mountaintops appeared in
the distance and the lush, tropical
forests of Costa Rica sprawled for miles.
In August, members of the College of
Agricultural and Life Sciences Leadership
Institute traveled to Costa Rica to learn
about sustainable agricultural practices
used in international markets and to expe-
rience Latin American culture.
"My first impression of Costa Rica was,
'Oh my, I've finally reached paradise,'" said
Rusty Hartline, agricultural education
and communication senior and CALS LI
member.
CALS LI is a sustainable leadership
development program for undergraduate
students currently enrolled in CALS. The
17-month program requires students to
participate in workshops, attend confer-
ences, complete a 50-hour practicum
with a personal mentor and participate in
lo-day study abroad trip.
The students who traveled to Costa Rica
will be the first to complete the CALS LI
curriculum. They will officially be done in
December while the second group began
their program in August.
The curriculum is designed to challenge
students and prepare them to be global-
ready leaders in an expanding international
market.
One of the main objectives during
the trip was to take part in sustainable

agricultural programs created by EARTH
University. EARTH University is a non-
profit international institution dedicated to
developing a sustainable world. Students
from all over the world come to EARTH
University to study sustainable practices
developed by the institution.
"My favorite part of our trip was visiting
EARTH University," said Johanna Wilkes,
food and resource economics senior.
"While there, we were able to visit families
in the surrounding community. It amazed

me how happy and grateful these families
were with so little. It was an experience I
will never forget."
CALS LI, with recycled products and
materials bought by EARTH University,
built a biodigestor for a Costa Rican family.
Inside the biodigestor, microorganisms
break down biodegradable material, such
as manure from a cow, in the absence
of oxygen. It then traps the methane gas
produced by the manure and sends the gas
through a hose to the house to be used for
cooking.
For Jason Davison, agricultural educa-
tion and communication graduate student,
it was the most rewarding part of the trip.
"The biodigestor will save the family
about $20 a month, which is a lot of money
there," Davison said. "It is really going to
improve their quality of life. They were very
appreciative of our hard work."
The group also had the opportunity to
take in the sights. The group went zip lining
through the rain forest, took surfing lessons
and hiked to the base of a volcano. CALS LI
students also attended a cultural event and
learned about Latin American culture.
"Spending time in Costa Rica was one
of the most exhilarating and rewarding
experiences of my life," Davison said. "I
would love to go back, spend more time at
EARTH University and experience more of
the culture." 0

Agricultural Communicators and Leaders of

Tomorrow Win Scholarship to Conference

BY ANDREA DAVIS AND LAURA KUBITZ

The University of Florida Agricultural Communicators and Leaders of Tomorrow Club

was the winner of the Yamaha-Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow Scholarship

Program. It was the second straight year the club came away with top honors.

Yamaha Motor Corporation challenged
individuals and clubs to incorporate ATV
and side-by-side safety messages in a com-
munications medium, such as a brochure
or press release.
ACLT members submitted a package
with three marketing pieces on the topic.
Their application included graphic design
components, a feature story and a video
story board.
"The effort was completely student
driven," said Dr. Ricky Telg, ACLT adviser.
"I handed them the application, and they
did the rest. If they wanted their traveling
costs lowered they would have to do the
work. They stepped up to the plate and hit a
home run."
As the winner of the scholarship, UF
ACLT received financial assistance to
help eight members of the club attend the
Agricultural Media Summit, the largest
gathering of crop and livestock media
professionals in the country.
"We also had the opportunity to speak
with representatives from Yamaha, get our
group's picture taken with the representa-
tives and view some of their new products,"
said Tiffany Dale, agricultural education
and communication senior.
The annual conference is held in various
cities throughout the United States and
brings together agricultural professionals
and students for networking and educa-
tional opportunities. This year, it was held
in St. Paul, Minn., July 24-28.
"Around 600 agricultural professionals
and students were atAMS this year," Dale
said. "It was a great opportunity to network
and meet with professionals in the agricul-
ture industry."
They met individuals representing John
Deere, Syngenta and Bayer CropScience, as
well as students from other universities.

The Agricultural Communicators and Leaders of Tomorrow cruise down the Mississippi River
for the welcome party of the Agricultural Media Summit in St. Paul, Minn.

"It was interesting to meet these
students and professionals, knowing
that one day, we will all be colleagues
in the agriculture industry," said Sarah
DeLoach, agricultural education and
communication senior.
It wasn't all work and no play for the
members of the UF ACLT. They had
the chance to cruise down the Missis-
sippi on a riverboat at the conference's
welcome party, as well as shop and
explore the Mall of America, famously
dubbed the largest mall in the U.S.
"We had a great time bonding with
our fellow ACLT members and made
memories to last a lifetime," DeLoach
said. "AMS was one of the highlights
of my summer." 0

The Agricultural Communicators and Leaders
of Tomorrow had the opportunity to meet-and-
greet with representatives from Yamaha Motor
Corporation, USA due to their winning design for

make a difference overseas.
Since 2007, about 25 CALS students

the Peace Corps, and there are nine more
students expecting to receive their invita-
tions by spring 2011, said Amy Panikowski,
UF Peace Corps recruiter.
"Food and resource economics, agri-
cultural education and communication,
wildlife ecology and conservation, and

said.
Panikowski is so busy that it is difficult

to turn anyone away. She even encourages
freshmen who are interested injoining the
Peace Corps to come by and talk about how
they can prepare to apply when they get
ready to graduate.
Panikowski strives to be highly accessible
to her students, mentoring them through

ready mentally and emotionally for their
service. She even corresponds with them
while they are overseas.
Dr. David J. Sammons, dean of the UF
International Center, served in the Peace
Corps from 1968-1970 in the Philippines as
a science education teacher at the elemen-
tary level. He also helped to improve food
production by performing demonstrations
on how to grow rice. Sammons joined
the Peace Corps because he believed in its
mission of peace and healing.
Whether it's having a knack for human
nutrition or a passion to help protect the
environment, students within CALS have
the skills the Peace Corps looks for in
their volunteers, Sammons said. In turn,

CALS students focus their interests and be
in tune with their strengths.
"They will come away with a better sense
of their professional interest and goals;'
Sammons said.
UF students who have volunteered or
plan on volunteering with the Peace Corps
find they can lean on each other for support
and guidance from the time they begin
the arduous application process until they
come home after 27 months of serving
overseas, Panikowski said.
"The Peace Corps, although a challenge,
is one of the best things that you will ever
have an opportunity to do," Sammons said.

"You will make a difference in the lives of
others, have a thrilling experience, learn a
lot, challenge yourself in important ways
and leave something of yourself behind
after two years."
Jenny Haddle, an interdisciplinary
ecology doctoral student, served in the
Peace Corps from 2001-2002 in Morocco.
Haddle worked with local schools to create
environmental education programs, and
served as a health volunteer, organizing
vaccination drives and distributing birth
control.
The cultural differences between
Morocco and America became apparent to
Haddle right away.
"In Morocco, they speak an unwritten

never dealt with before," Haddle said.
Despite the challenges, Haddle has
already been nominated to return for a
second tour with the Peace Corps. This
time she hopes to go to southern Africa and
work in forestry.
With an education in agricultural and
life sciences, Haddle feels more prepared
for her second round with the Peace Corps.
"I think food security is a really big issue,
and the knowledge we gain in CALS will be
very applicable there," Haddle said. 0

in North America. Last year alone, the club
sold 2,500 plants to more than 800 visitors.
The show originated as a poinsettia
research trial and open house for the com-
mercial industry. The poinsettia sale began
when people from outside the industry
came to the open house and the club des-
ignated an extra day for the public to come
and enjoy the plants. They then decided to
make a fundraiser out of the show and offer
plants for sale.
The club uses the profits from the sale to
take an international trip each May to see
horticulture in places such as Costa Rica,
France, Holland and British Columbia.
This year, the club is planning a trip to
England.
The poinsettias are planted the first week
of the fall semester to be ready in time
for the sale. Environmental Horticulture
Club students work in rotations, including
weekends and holidays, to water the crop.
